How far in advance do you schedule recordings in BTV?

[vogelap]

I'm almost ALWAYS scheduled 2 full weeks (the max BTV supports) in advance.

If the guide updates are automatic as is the scheduling, why wouldnl't you schedule 2 weeks in advance?

It depends. For TV shows, I try to set up recurring (all new, all, etc) so that I don't have to remember to do it over and over again. For movies, I tend to use At A Glance in SS.net to find new movies to record and those are set up current day or next. I also have favorites set up and usually use the Record in the next 30 days when I get the email notifications.

I set everything up as far in advance as possible. Most of my recordings are set up as recurring events (all new etc..) If I could get a month worth of guide data, I'd schedule a month in advance. Of course I travel for work, so most weeks I'm only home on the weekends and I'll schedule everything then.

I have my favourite shows setup as far in advance as possible and I examine "upcoming recordings" just to make sure. Ergo, I leave my computer on 24/7.

I really only look forward a few days. I often schedule same day from the office. Other times I'll browse the guide while watching TV (using the overlay). I can't go that far in the future this way or it gets tedious.

I schedule recordings 2 weeks in advance (if I remember, too). I wish there was a way to setup "future" recordings even when the guide data isn't available. This would be useful when you hear about a new program for the upcoming season that you want to check out, but it's still 3 months til the season begins. At least, you could "set it & forget it" -- until those recordings started showing, that is. For instance, I used to have a recurring recording for '24' -- but lost it when I uninstalled/reinstalled BTV. So now, I can't set up my new recurring recording until the new season premiers, but if I had saved my old recurring recording, I would be set.

As far in advance as I can, as it seems better for conflict handling. Not sure if it's trully the case.
I try and check the program guide regularly on my favorite channels to add new stuff, even though my regular list of setup recording is plentiful emnough to keep me entertained.
